Can exercises help IBD patients
improve their health?

Irrespective of whether one suffers from an illness or remain in strong and in good health, exercises are
indispensable to maintain the overall health and wellness, while suppressing
diseases and keeping them at bay. Staying physically fit is not an easy task, as it involves an ongoing battle with
one’s constant urges to enjoy scrumptious delicacies that promise to pamper the palate. However, those who manage
to suppress their cravings can successfully maintain healthy weight through strong dietary regimens and workout routines.

Balanced nutrition and daily exercise

Contrary to the popular perception that patients who suffer from chronic illnesses like gastrointestinal
disorders will have to adopt an inactive and immobile lifestyle, experts recommend balanced diet plans and daily
exercise routines that
are essential to strengthen the bones and muscles, while suppressing disease symptoms effectively. According to a
report of WHO, physical inactivity, a global pandemic, can lead to serious implications on the overall health.

Though gastrointestinal disorders like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative
colitis cannot be cured completely, their symptoms can be suppressed with the aid of various medications and
specialized surgeries that assure deep remission or the symptom-free phase. Exercises can be defined as the
catalyst to boost the chosen treatment methods, thus helping patients achieve deep remission in the shortest
time span.

Combat IBD with exercise

As inflammatory bowel disease patients often suffer from abdominal pain,
cramping, inflammation, and severe diarrhea with blood in stools, exercises might perhaps be the last physical
activity that they hope to do, mainly due to severe fatigue. However, exercises when combined with balanced eating,
can easily combat these symptoms and resultant nutritional loss, thus helping IBD patients retain their health,
even while suffering from intermittent flare-ups that aggravate their symptoms, even for a shorter time span. With
time-bound treatments, IBD symptoms can soon be averted, while
achieving remission, a partial cure or a no-symptom stage, which is the roadway to regaining health.
